Having done a count of the "red' posts on a few threads, a clear trend is evident.
On the "Abbot lies & lies again" thread, debate is strong and runs at about 65/35 in favour of the "blue" team which is possibly about the natural balance of HC posters.
Red team posters were fishead, pauljb0470,cgt2009,lapdog, bazil brush,tinnitus & 123enen.
On the "Worst PM ever" thread, cgt2009 is the only red team member to play a card. Debate is virtually non-existent & posts run at about 95/5 in favour of the blue team.
On the "offensive joke at ALP dinner" thread, Reaper11 & cgt2009 are the only red team members to offer comment. Posting score runs at about 90/10 in blue teams favour.
A couple of conclusions might suggest the following:
1) cgt2009 is to be congratulated for 'sticking fat' when his team is in strife.
2) Majority of red team goes to ground when it's difficult to defend their party.
3) Majority of red team becomes vary excited & vocal when there's an opportunity to kick Abbot.
4) There are very few threads that cover 'positive' initiatives by the red party.
